5.5.17 Dummy Load
This function is meant to prevent engine from running without load, which can in some cases shorten engine
lifespan. It is a way user can set when to load external power bank and when to unload it.
This function can only be active if the setpoint Dummy Load Active (page 287) is set to correct value (Gen
Only) and Engine State is loaded. Dummy Load function is triggered when the conditions mentioned before
are met and Generator power is bellow Dummy Load On (page 287) setpoint level, or above Dummy Load
Off (page 288) level.
Controller supports up to 5 Dummy Load stages. When the function is enabled, controller will always use all
the dummy load stages up to the highest one configured. User can configure any number of these either in
PLC or as LBO, but if just Dummy Load Stage 1 and Dummy Load Stage 5 are configured, Dummy Load On
Delay (page 288) will trigger five times anyway when going from Dummy Load Stage 1 to Dummy Load
Stage 5. Whenever controller checks conditions and Dummy Load function is triggered, it will do the following
(depending on the power level):
Power is bellow level set by Dummy Load On (page 287) – in this case controller will wait for a period of
time specified in Dummy Load On Delay (page 288) before activating DUMMY LOAD STAGE 1 (PAGE
472) LBO if no Dummy Load was active before. Otherwise the original outputs will stay on and controller
will activate next stage of Dummy Load LBO (if DUMMY LOAD STAGE 2 (PAGE 472) was active before,
DUMMY LOAD STAGE 3 (PAGE 473) will be activated and all 5 LBOs DUMMY LOAD STAGE 1 (PAGE 472),
DUMMY LOAD STAGE 2 (PAGE 472), DUMMY LOAD STAGE 3 (PAGE 473) will be active).
